Hollywood Sightseeing HOLLYWOOD SIGHTSEEING Take advantage of the attractions in a city that ranks tourism as its No. 2 industry. Attractions - Things to See and Do in Hollywood, California Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do at the Bowl At the epicenter of Hollywood’s music scene stands the architecturally astounding Hollywood Bowl (2301 N. Highland Ave.; hollywoodbowl.com). Showcasing a vast assortment of musical acts, there is something for every musical taste. Embrace Your Inner Thespian Hollywood is not only known for film, but also for stage performances. Smash hit musicals like “Rent” and “Wicked” have been performed at the Pantages Theatre (6233 Hollywood Blvd.; hollywoodpantages.com). Then, of course, there’s the home of the Academy Awards, the Dolby Theatre (6801 Hollywood Blvd., dolbytheatre.com). Experience the Happening Nightclubs Hollywood is most definitely the nightclub capital. Party like celebrities do, grab a group of friends and visit A-list clubs like Drai’s (6250 Hollywood Blvd.; draishollywood.com), Supperclub (6675 Hollywood Blvd; supperclub.com), and Tru (1600 Argyle Ave; truhollywood.com). From dancing to Jeremih and Pitbull, to drinking those fancy martinis just like Carrie and the girls on “Sex and the City” do, to flirting with that cute bartender with the intriguingly dangerous tattoo, you’re bound to have a fantastic and eventful evening out. Go to the Taping of a Show In the mood to test your knowledge? Go to a taping of “Jeopardy!” Love game shows? See “Wheel of Fortune” live. Fascinated by other people’s problems? Watch Dr. Phil aid crazy mother-in-laws, adulterers, obese toddlers, pregnant teenagers, etc. There are plenty of Web sites offering tickets for free, like tvtix.com. It’s way more entertaining to watch fifth graders outsmart adults live than on your small, dinky television. Have a Dance Party on the Walk of Fame How many people do you know that have had the pleasure of dancing with iconic characters such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Spider-Man or the Grinch? Most likely, not many have. I can tell you from firsthand experience that it is quite the event. It provides fabulous Facebook pictures, is a great topic of conversation to pull out when facing an awkward encounter and you’ll have the good reputation of being the fun and outgoing one of the group. Just watch out for Elmo; he gets kind of touchy. Hollywood Forever Cemetery The oldest Hollywood cemetery and one of the most visited final resting places, Rudolf Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Cecil B. De Mille, Jayne Mansfield, Marion Davies, and Tyrone Power are all interred here. You may visit the unusual assortment of grave markers and beautiful stained glass windows by tour only. The cemetery (6000 Santa Monica Blvd.; cinespia.org) shows screenings of classic films; call (323) 469-1181 or visit hollywoodforever.com for more information. A detailed listing of cemeteries can be found at seeing-stars.com/Buried2. Laugh Until It Hurts In a city with so much drama, it’s nice to escape every once and a while. As the saying goes, laughter is the best medicine. So make up for that bad day at work, roommate dilemmas or that heart-wrenching break-up by going to a comedy club like Upright Citizens Brigade (5919 Franklin Ave.; ucbtheatre.com), the Laugh Factory (8001 Sunset Blvd.; laughfactory.com), Second City (6560 Hollywood Blvd.; secondcity.com) or the Groundlings (7307 Melrose Ave., groundlings.com). Lucky Strike Bowling With a luxurious lounge and gourmet Super Bowl Sunday type menu, featuring mac ’n cheese and hot wings, you feel more like you’re in a sophisticated bar. Gigantic TV screens play the hottest new music videos, lights are flashing and to please your artistic side, up-and-coming artists’ work is featured at Lucky Strike (6801 Hollywood Blvd.; bowlluckystrike.com). It provides the perfect ambiance for a bachelor party, girls’ night out or first date. And of course, for terrible bowlers like myself, there is the option of bumpers. If I, the one who throws bowling balls into other lanes by mistake and never breaks into triple digits, enjoyed this bowling experience then you’re bound to have a fabulous time. People Watch on Hollywood Boulevard On any given day you will find a motley group of people strolling through Hollywood: tourists visiting from around the globe, the homeless pleading for spare change, striving actors and musicians, established actors and musicians, the list goes on. I often find myself sitting in Starbucks, wondering about these various walks of life. See the Major Players Visit the iconic Hollywood sign, hang out at Universal Studios (100 Universal City Plaza; universalstudioshollywood.com), go to the Hollywood Wax Museum (6767 Hollywood Blvd., hollywoodwaxmuseum.com), check out haunted locations like the Roosevelt Hotel (7000 Hollywood Blvd.; hollywoodroosevelt.com) or stop by Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (6925 Hollywood Blvd., tclchinesetheatres.com) and compare your hands and feet to classic Hollywood royalty like Frank Sinatra, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, John Wayne and Marilyn Monroe. Seriously, stop to smell the roses and enjoy the bountiful amount of entertainment Hollywood has to offer. Autry National Center / Museum of the American West Only at the Autry Museum do the many colorful stories of the American West come to life. Discover the legacy of the Lakota and the Osage people and the amazing explorations by Spanish conquistadors and experience the romantic portrayals of the West through art, film, and television. Unique exhibitions arrive every few weeks! Come to the Autry Museum, located just across from the Los Angeles Zoo, where the 5 and 134 Freeways meet. Call (323) 667-2000 or visit theautry.org. ArcLight Cinemas ArcLight is where movie lovers belong. Conceived by and for people who value the art and entertainment of the moving image, ArcLight’s design, amenities, service level and programming create a celebration of movies, and a more refined and complete movie-going experience. ArcLight Hollywood's 14 auditoriums begin with a “black box” design aesthetic which favors undistracted viewing over opulence, and feature the best in sight and sound technology. Also at ArcLight is the Cinerama Dome. Built in 1963 in a giant, white 72 foot-high geodesic, the dome was to feature Cinerama - a wide-screen format of the early 60's, which used three separate 35mm projectors and a vast curved screen to present realistic travelogues. It recently has been showing popular movies utilizing the most up-to-date technology. It is also one of the most identifiable Hollywood landmarks. Each seat is individually reserved and the plush seating makes for a comfortable experience. Get more information at arclightcinemas.com. Capitol Records Building Located at 1750 North Vine Street, this landmark building is one of Hollywood’s most recognized icons. The light on its rooftop spire flashes “Hollywood” in Morse code. In the lobby you will find displayed gold albums of its many artists. John Lennon, Garth Brooks, and other Capitol artists’ stars are on the sidewalk in front of the building. For more information, check out their website at capitolrecords.com. El Capitan Theatre & Entertainment Center Step into Hollywood’s glittering past at the legendary El Capitan Theatre and adjacent 35,000 square foot, seven-room entertainment center. Conveniently located in the heart of Hollywood, the El Capitan was built in 1925 as a legitimate theater. This treasure was restored to its former glory thanks to Disney and Pacific Theatres and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside the theater, visitors will experience a restored Wurlitzer Pipe Organ. The theater offers 1,000 seats; a Dolby SR-D, SDDS, and DTS digital capable sound system; and a 22’ x 45’ motion picture screen. The adjoining Entertainment Center can accommodate 1,600 guests. There is also a Disney store on the property at street level. The El Capitan is located at 6838 Hollywood Blvd. For more information, call (818) 845-3110 or visit elcapitan.go.com. American Cinematheque “Forever Hollywood” Movie at the Egyptian Theatre If you are looking to discover or rediscover the unique story of Hollywood and its famous movie industry, this hour-long movie produced by the American Cinematheque and playing at Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre is a must see. Sit back and relax as you learn about the Hollywood community from the early silent pictures to the glittering nightlife to the great studio era. Twenty-three celebrated interviewees such as Steven Spielberg, Kevin Spacey, and Salma Hayek tell about breaking into “the business” and “making it” in the glamorous and competitive movie industry. With shots from more than 75 feature films and set to the theme music of The Bad and the Beautiful, this is an excellent glimpse into Hollywood’s past, right on Hollywood Boulevard. Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre is located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd., between Las Palmas and McCadden Place. For show times, visit www.egyptiantheatre.com. Original Farmers Market and The Grove Located at Third and Fairfax Streets, the Original Farmers Market is a historic landmark.

  • Early Life and Education San Francisco (1990S)
    AMATO BIO + LINKS Matt Amato is an American film writer and director. A "radical filmmaker,” his work has been described as "gorgeous, incredibly cinematic” and “visionary". As an influential music video director, he has worked with some of the greatest musicians of this generation. His major works include music videos for popular artists such as Barbra Streisand, Beach House, Bon Iver, Dido, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Soko, and Wild Nothing. He also co-founded the iconoclastic Los Angeles based visual arts collective, The Masses. In 2020, he completed his debut feature, Never My Love. Amato is now documenting the efforts of historic preservationist Larry Giles at the National Building Arts Center. Amato is a radical filmmaker, willing to make a movie that travels like a river, or unfolds like a piece of music or a real human life, something that seems alien after we’ve slumped in theater seats, overdazzling our retinas with exploding cars and exploding planets. He realizes the transformative power of seeing—and not seeing. Of showing the full spectrum of a full human life, with a slice hidden in shadow. That unsettled, mysterious place makes room for the watcher but throws down the challenge to do more than just watch. - Stefene Russell, St. Louis Magazine Early life and education Amato filming Red House Painters music video in San Fransisco, CA. Amato grew up in St. Louis, MO and was educated by the Benedictine monks at St. Louis Priory. He briefly attended film school at Columbia College in Chicago before venturing to California. San Francisco (1990s) Amato began his directing career in the mid-1990s while living in San Francisco.

  • Dolby Theatre Guided Tour Review
    Dolby theatre guided tour review Continue The statement regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) of 9.9.2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be of extreme public concern. Based on the latest news and at the direction of the Governor, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our daily tours. Our Broadway Hollywood series has also been rescheduled for dates yet to be determined. For more information about these exhibitions, please call our box office at (323) 308-6389. Please note that Box Office is currently closed, but we will respond to all voicemails. Please leave a message with your name, phone number and the headline of the show. If you are a Pantages season subscriber, please contact their Box Office directly at (866) 755-2929. We appreciate your understanding at this difficult time and will let everyone know as more information becomes available. The Dolby Theatre, located in Hollywood, California, is the permanent home of the Oscars and various other events. Tours of the Dolby Theatre are held several times a day and last about 30 minutes each. In this post, we review our recent experience on Dolby Theatre excursions. Theoretically, a tour of the Dolby Theatre can be quite cool. While not having nearly as much history as other venues near it in Hollywood as Grauman's Chinese Theatre, El Capitan Theatre, and Cinerama dome, there is great potential interest here. First, there is his transition from the Kodak Theatre to the Dolby Theatre. There is architecture as well. The interior design of the Dolby Theatre is impressive; As it was designed to be the permanent home of the Oscars, it was generously designed, with inspiration from European opera houses.

  • 12Th National A&E Journalism Awards
    Ben Mankiewicz Tarana Burke Danny Trejo Quentin Tarantino The Luminary The Impact Award The Visionary The Distinguished Award Award Storyteller Award 2019 TWELFTH ANNUAL Ann-Margret The Legend Award NATIONAL ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT JOURNALISM AWARDS LOS ANGELES PRESS CLUB 12TH ANNUAL National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards A Letter From the Press Club President Good evening and welcome to the 12th annual National Arts & Entertain- ment Journalism Awards. Think about how much the entertainment industry has changed since the Press Club introduced these awards in 2008. Arnold Schwarzenegger was our governor, not a Terminator. Netflix sent you DVDs in the mail. The iPhone was one year old. Fast forward to today and the explosion of technology and content that is changing our lives and keeping journalists busy across the globe. Entertainment journalism has changed as well, with all of us taking a much harder look at how societal issues influence Hollywood, from workplace equality and diversity to coverage of political events, the impact of social media and U.S.-China rela- tions. Your Press Club has thrived amid all this. Participation is way up, with more Chris Palmeri than 600 dues-paying members. The National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards have grown and changed as well. Tonight we’re in a ballroom in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, but in 2008 the awards took place in the Steve Allen Theater, the Press Club’s old home in East Hollywood. That building has since been torn down. Our first event in 2008 featured a cocktail party with no host and only 111 entries in the competition.
